AARON WAS EMPLOYED BY TURNER INDUSTRIES WHERE HE HELD VARIOUS POSITIONS OF A WELDER, SCAFFOLD BUILDER, AND LEADMAN. HE WORKED AT VARIOUS CHEMICAL PLANTS AS FAR OUT AS HOUSTON, TEXAS. COUP WAS A VERY HARD WORKER.

AARON WAS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH DIVERSE INTEREST AND WAS KNOWN FOR HIS AFFECTIONATE AND EMPATHETIC NATURE. HE HAD A REMARKABLE ABILITY TO BRING SMILES TO THOSE AROUND HIM WHILE MAINTAINING A WARM DEMEANOR. HE WAS SO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND AND BROUGHT JOY THAT WAS SO CONTAGIOUS TO EVERY SPACE THAT HE WAS IN. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH EACH ONE OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HE WOULD NOT DO TO MAKE HIS FAMILY HAPPY! HE WAS OUR PROTECTOR AND CONSISTENLY REMINDED THE WORLD THAT HE DID NOT PLAY BEHIND HIS FAMILY, AND IF YOU KNOW AARON, YOU KNOW HE STOOD ON BUSINESS.

AARON ENJOYED WRITING, WATCHING SPORTS (LOVED THE SAINTS), COOKING, (SPECIFICALLY GRILLING) AND SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MANY PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT THE FOOD HE COOKED WAS BEYOND DELICIOUS, BUT SALTY ESPECIALLY HIS GRILLED RIBS AND CHICKEN WINGS.
